Using this SEO browser extension, you can find out who is linking to a particular site.

Just perform a google search that will bring up content that is similar to yours — and then analyze the links pointing the such content.

You can then use a tool like Amazon Mechanical Turk, to quickly find out the email addresses of the people linking to the web page(s) in question.

Once you have their email address, you can then reach out to them and let them know about your piece of content.

It can also be a good idea to reach out to people, based on whether or not they’ve shared content similar to yours.

You can identify people who’ve shared similar content, with the help of Buzzsumo.

To do this, go to Buzzsumo and type in a keyword that relates to your piece of content.

You’ll then see content that is similar to yours. You then just need to click on ‘View Sharers’ to find the people who’ve shared this content.

Note: You’ll need a premium version of Buzzsumo to do this. There is a free trial that lasts 14 days, however. Purchasing Buzzsumo can be a good idea, since it also gives you the chance to identify backlink opportunities too.

Whilst all of this can seem like tedious work, putting in the time to do this can really help boost/maintain your rankings.

Start building more internal links

This might sound complicated, but essentially what you’re doing here is linking more of your pages to one another, within your site.

The easiest way to do this, is to link to any related pieces of content you might have on your site, when you’re writing/editing an existing piece of content.

Here’s an example of an internal link:

As with everything else we’ve covered here — be sure that you don’t overdo this.

Going over the top here, can often lead to a negative impact on your SEO, as it will raise a red flag with Google.
